An improved system for assessing cognitive function is described that uses tracked electrical activity of the brain of the individuals in response to a specific sequence of stimuli in generating data sets, which, for example, can be encapsulated as a data structure. The data sets can include tracked specific response types, at different times and amplitudes, including, but not limited to, event related potential signal components. Brainwave features including, event related potentials, are tracked in relation to both pre-attentive brain responses and consciously controlled attention responses.

Techniques are provided for performing radio frequency (RF) sensing to determine the viewing status of a television user. This can be used to determine user behavior during the playback of content (e.g., whether a user is watching the content), which can be used as a data point for determining the user's level of interest in the content. Using the status of the television user, embodiments can provide additional or alternative functionality, such as powering down and/or powering up the television. Furthermore, RF sensing may be performed by existing television hardware, such a Wi-Fi transceiver, and may therefore provide RF sensing functionality to a television with little or no added cost.

A sleepiness estimating device including an auxiliary information acquirer that acquires auxiliary information including at least one of five-sense information perceived by a person or emotion information indicating an emotion of the person; and a sleepiness estimator that estimates a sleepiness of the person based on the auxiliary information.

A driver assistance method and a driver assistance apparatus are provided, which may be applied to the field of autonomous driving or intelligent driving. The driver assistance method includes: determining that a driver is in an abnormal state; determining that a first operation performed by the driver on a first terminal is an abnormal operation; and performing first processing, where the first processing includes outputting indication information and/or control information, and the indication information or the control information indicates a second operation performed on the first terminal, or the first processing includes controlling the first terminal to perform the second operation.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a smart relaxation mask configured to output a stimulus and collect biometric information while the stimulus is output to determine if the subject is paying attention to the stimulus. If the subject is not focused on the stimulus, the mask adjusts at least one of an audio, visual, or haptic output. The stimulus is adjusted in an effort to shift the subject's attention to the stimulus and away from racing thoughts.

An electronic device that includes an electronic calendar containing scheduled events, the device further including a) software that matches an event with an optimal brain state, and b) means for convening to the user of the device such optimal brain state when the calendar indicates that the event is imminent or has arrived.

Aspects of the disclosure can provide a method and device for detecting EEG signals of a first person in proximity to the device. The device can include a non-contact EEG directional circuit having non-contact sensors, the non-contact EEG directional circuit being configured to detect the EEG signals produced by a brain of the first person without making contact with the first person. The device can further include a processor coupled to the non-contact EEG directional circuit that is configured to analyze the EEG signals to detect patterns in the EEG signals that correspond to a state of the first person in proximity to the non-contacting sensor and feedback device that is configured to provide a second person with an indication of the state of the first person in proximity to the non-contacting sensor. Additionally, the device can include a contact EEG circuit having sensors that are in contact with the second person and that is configured to detect second EEG signals produced by a brain of the second person, wherein the processor is coupled to the contact EEG circuit and is configured to analyze the second EEG signals to detect patterns in the second EEG signals that correspond to a state of second the person.

The present invention relates to a digital content-based method for providing therapeutics information, the method comprising: a first step of performing stimulation on a brain of a user to obtain fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy) data of the user; a second step of extracting a first brain activation area from a plurality of brain areas of the user using the obtained fNIRS data; a third step of determining a first brain state of the user, based on the first brain activation area; a fourth step of providing the user with a content determined corresponding to the first brain state determined in the third step under an XR (Extended Reality) environment; a fifth step in which the user performs a mission corresponding to the content; a sixth step of extracting a second brain activation area from the plurality of brain areas with reference to the fNIRS data of the user following performing the mission; and a seventh step of determining a second brain state of the user, based on the second brain activation area; an eighth step of determining information related to amelioration of the brain state of the user.

A method for signaling a measured and/or a predetermined vital parameter and/or vital parameter pattern for a vehicle occupant in a vehicle involves arranging a functional element set up to have a visual and/or audible and/or haptic effect on at least one vehicle occupant, and a measured and/or a predetermined vital parameter and/or vital parameter pattern is signaled non-verbally by the functional element.

A method and a system are provided for taking biomarker measurements of patients who have ADHD. Mathematical analysis (e.g., pattern recognition, machine learning and AI algorithms) of the biomarker measurements is used to create a unique personal prediction model and data set for an individual patient. The unique personal data set is used to diagnose and monitor a particular problem of the individual patient associated with ADHD, or to recommend a treatment for a particular problem of the individual patient associated with ADHD, or to predict an outcome of a treatment for a particular problem of the individual patient associated with ADHD.
